    I'll tell you a funny story, many many many years ago we had a fish tank in the old Lab with some leeches in it for use in Medical Procedures.

    One day the whole lot escaped from the tank, never to be seen again :oogle
    The people who worked in the Lab were a little uneasy about where they sat and worked for some time after that lol3.gif

    I'm pretty sure I'd freak out if I had one of those on me.
    Eekkkkkkkkk I know I'd freak out, creepy looking things they are.

    Thanks for sharing and for the memories.... Good Shots! thumb.gif

    When I saw my friends bitten by this Leech, it made me sick.
    I have never seen a leech before until last week.
    I can't imagine surrounded with many leeches! eek7.gif
